6th OCTOBER 2025 - IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due the retirement of a number of volunteers the Museum reluctantly has to now close on Saturdays. We would like to thank those volunteers for their many years of service and wish them all the best for the future.

If anyone would like to visit the Museum on days that we are closed we would gladly open on request.

We are continually looking for volunteers to staff the Museum on open days and to help with our Thursday coffee mornings.

If you are considering volunteering and want some more information please call 07886857686

3rd APRIL 2026 -  AWARD FROM THE NATIONAL LOTTERY HERITAGE FUND

The Brynmawr Museum and Historical Society are very pleased to announce that they have been awarded £21k from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to produce a short educational film on the life and achievements of Roy Francis. The film is aimed primarily at young people as an example of what with hard work and determination great things can be achieved.

In telling this story the Heritage of Brynmawr will play a big part in the film and will show what life was like in the 1920/30s.

The Museum has many photographs of the town of Brynmawr but very little moving footage. If anyone has any old cine footage of the Town and particularly the swimming pool, where Roy won many awards, loan of it would be appreciated.

We would also like to hear from any of the older generation who could talk about Brynmawr in their childhood or stories from their parents or grandparents.
